ALEKS® provides instructors with the convenience of unparalleled course management tools. ALEKS scrupulously records every interaction with every student in the class, and provides you with individual progress reports as well as big-picture overviews of how the class is doing in each topic area. And you'll see a big difference around exam time- tests have shown that students using ALEKS achieve on average a grade of 1.5 points higher than students studying conventionally. ALEKS is a Web-based tutor that uses artificial intelligence to discover a student's weak areas and helps strengthen them. It combines explanations with hands-on practice just like a human tutor does, and it's smart enough to present new topics only when a student is ready to learn them. In other words, students set the pace: they choose the topics to study and they're never pushed to tackle material they're not ready to learn. And students can log on any time of the day or night, from any computer. All tutorials/assessment questions are created for you. Simply choose the type of course management features you want and then begin using ALEKS. The Instructor's Guide includes an introduction to ALEKS, setup instructions, a complete overview of the robust administration tools, a primer on teaching with ALEKS, and the Student User's Guide. In addition, this package includes a short video introduction that will help you understand how ALEKS works both from both the student's and instructor's perspectives.
